		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know about other parts of the world, but here in Bend there is a palpable sense of summer (and even fall?) drawing to a close. We&#8217;ve already had a couple nights where it&#8217;s dipped into the 20&#8242;s, and the week before last had a definite bite to it: cool days, overcast skies and [...]]]></description>

Well, there is yet another chapter to this &#8230; I was working in the office last night, when I heard Roni rustling around in the living room. She [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our first ever visit to Bend happened to be the day they ran the 2004 Pole, Pedal, Paddle race. Our friends took us down to the amphitheater where the racers were finishing and we strolled around the booths looking at energy bars, racing clothes, and active footwear. All while enjoying the spicy scent of damp [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the side-effects of Cycle Oregon is that I&#8217;m in better cycling shape than I have been in quite some time. Riding 70+ miles per day for a week will do that. So, after a week of sitting around eating pizza and recuperating, I decided to tackle one of the bigger outdoor goals I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m back from Cycle Oregon. 7 days, 518 miles, and some uncountable number of new friends and faces later. As you can see, the scenery was spectacular (pictures are one of the roads we rode on, and sunrise the morning of the 1st day, respectively). But more importantly, the people on the ride were just [...]]]></description>

There is time for one last blog entry. It&#8217;s dark out this morning. The night sky is clear, yet here in Oregon magic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been meaning to write about my ongoing fishing expeditions, but haven&#8217;t quite mustered the time and energy. I actually had a new project start up which has diverted my energies, but there appears to be a little bit of a hiatus while my client does some shuffling around of&#8230; well&#8230; me, I suppose. I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went fly fishing today, in the purist sense of the sport. That is to say, I lost a couple flies, got both my shoes wet, and didn&#8217;t see anything that even the most optimistic of fishermen would call a fish. That wasn&#8217;t unexpected however. It&#8217;s been almost 20 years since I last tried this. [...]]]></description>
